Duststorm

Driving to work in yesterday's dust storm which blanketed the eastern half of Australia.
High winds pushed thousands of tons of topsoil per hour out to sea.
This morning the skies are blue, with a slight haze on the horizon.

An amazing event we may see repeated before long. A good capture, Laine.
